Parish church of San Lorenzo

Immersed in the enchantment of the hills, this church stands majestically at approximately 217 meters above sea level, offering a breathtaking view of the suggestive Gulf of Tigullio. Built in the first half of the 1700s to replace a previous sacred structure, it represents an authentic jewel of Baroque art, testimony to the artistic and spiritual fervor of the era.

The Imposing Bell Tower

Next to the church stands a grandiose bell tower, imposing with its 54 meters of height and a square base, a tower that soars towards the sky, announcing the divine presence with its sound.

 

An Interior of Beauty and Magnificence

The interior of the church, a single nave, is a triumph of beauty and magnificence. Frescoes, gilded stuccoes and precious marbles decorate the space, capturing the gaze of the faithful and visitors with their artistic richness.

Behind the altar, a magnificent polyptych dating back to 1492, the work of the famous “Master of S. Lorenzo”, represents a masterpiece of sacred art. The figure of San Lorenzo and other saints surrounding him emanate a divine light, inviting contemplation and devotion.

 

Treasures of Faith and Devotion

In the first altar on the right, a precious marble frontal dating back to the fifteenth century, originally from a monastery in Val Polcevera, once held the remains of Blessed Nicholas of Prussia. This adds a touch of sacredness and veneration to this place of faith and devotion.
